“Love is the canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.”
Voltaire
You might think that loving yourself is selfish and indeed it is. Until you decide that you are the most important person in your life, you will not be all that you can be to others. Loving and accepting yourself unconditionally allows you to see the magnificence of others. There is no need to compare or withhold self from others. There is a confidence, a gentleness, a peace from within which only comes from self acceptance. You radiate a willingness to serve, not enable, to give, not control, to receive, not take.
So where do we begin to fall in love with ourselves?????
Become a witness to your own self talk.
Stop all deprecating thoughts about yourself.
Develop the habit of appreciation for the little things about yourself.
Look for things to appreciate, the little ways you show up in the world that make a difference. You will automatically extend that to others.
Forgive yourself for judging you. You have always done the best job you have known how to do/
Give thanks for new beginnings.
Let go of any resentment about another for that is a killer of self-esteem.
Look for the good in others, focus on their strengths instead of their weaknesses. Remember, what goes around, comes around. Treat others the way you want to be treated. That way everyone wins.
Affirmation: I love and accept myself unconditionally. I appreciate who I am and what I bring to the world.
Let me know how this works for you.
Thanks,
Carole
